Pathway: Computer-Integrated Machining Technology
Apprenticeship Site: Magneti Marelli
Jacob Mouton is a student who is part of the Machining Apprenticeship Program through CCW. He believes that the
program has helped him to gain a professional trade that will open up many doors for him in the future.
The advice he would give to other students interested in the Career and College Promise Program is to stick with it even when you feel like everything is not going the way you planned. If you stick with it then it will work out.
After High School, he plans to continue to take Computer-Integrated Machining Technology courses which will allow him to further his skills in this trade.

The CCP Culinary pathway is offered in all three counties served by CCCC and leads to a Culinary Fundamentals certificate after just one semester. This curriculum certificate provides the hands on training necessary to obtain an entry-level culinary position. This certificate offers the necessary foundation in safe food handling and preparation. Students work in a commercial kitchen that simulates a quick service restaurant, as well as an introduction to catering and quantity foods. Upon completion, graduates have the skills necessary for an entry-level management position in a commercial kitchen.
Beyond this certificate, students can also attend CCCC once they graduate and pursue an Associate Degree in Culinary Arts. Students may choose to pursue higher education even further by pursuing a Bachelor's Degree through the articulation agreement CCCC has with Johnson and Wales University.
